Kitt Peak Vacuum Telescope to the Max

Harry Jones

Observers at the NSO/KPVT continue to use the NSO/NASA Spectromagnetograph to support observing campaigns, spacecraft operations, and other special observing programs although they were limited by this summer's vigorous and extended monsoon season. Recent examples include H. Jones' 1083-nm line asymmetry and EUV line shifts guest investigator program with SoHO and GSFC's SERTS 99 rocket flight in June, ongoing support of various TRACE programs, a continuing study of prominences initiated by D. Rust, and several campaigns (Max-Millenium, Whole Sun Month, MEDOC, etc.). Usually such support is undertaken after the standard synoptic data have been obtained by the observer, who takes into account weather and instrument conditions as well as the various e-mail and web announcements. For special scheduling or observing requirements, contact Harry Jones (hjones@noao.edu) or Jack Harvey (jharvey@noao.edu).
